Thank you everyone for your good wishes.
Iusedtobecarmen, I wouldn't say I was in tip top condition tbh. I love my red wine a bit too much. And lockdown saw me snacking more than usual. Consequently, I could certainly afford to lose a few pounds.
But on the whole, we tend to eat a pretty healthy diet, similar to a Mediterranean style diet. Plenty of fish, especially oily fish like salmon and mackerel. Good quality organic meats and chicken. Whole grains wherever possible, and legumes. And a lot of fresh vegetables and salads, and olive oil. Post lockdown, I also try to snack on nuts and houmous instead of crisps etc. I also eat a boiled egg every morning for breakfast. So, I do ensure I have plenty of good proteins in my diet. I rarely have sweet things. Simply because I don't have a sweet tooth, so I never crave them. My particular vice is cheese, absolutely love the stuff. I also drink a lot of water and decaf tea. We also tend to have a couple of vegetarian or vegan dinners each week. We rarely have ready meals or heavily processed food.
Supplements wise, I have recently been taking good quality B complex vitamins and ACE & D supplements. Prior to this pregnancy, and due to lockdown, I wasn't going to the gym regularly, but I am a big walker.
On to sex: not as much as we'd like with a toddler to look after lol. But I do have regular cycles, and I definitely feel most in the mood mid cycle. Sorry for too much info, but I do notice that my discharge around this period is at its most fertile so to speak. And I generally feel more in the mood for sex.
Talking to others who have been TTC over the years, most have said that the main thing that helped them was monitoring their ovulation patterns each month and upping intercourse during their fertile window.
But mostly, if you're pretty healthy with balanced hormones, I think it's a game of chance. Although I did have a colleague (who must have been early forties) contribute her pregnancy to a supplement from the US to increase egg quality (forgot what it was, but some fertility clinics in New York found it improved egg quality in their older patients undergoing treatment). Wish I had more answers for you.
Hoping you get lucky xx
